From the time she awakens in the morning to the time she goes to bed at night, a small Asian-American girl imagines all the every-day activities of an ordinary human girl to be the comparable every-day actions of various animals: Josie's thumping down the stairs becomes a kangaroo hopping, for example, and her evening bathing becomes a dolphin diving. Watercolor paintings show an energetic child accompanied by the pictures she has inside her head. (Ages 2-4)

In this endearing and unusual book, a little girl named Josie pretends to be all sorts of animals and birds from the time she wakes up until bedtime. The playful, funny text, illustrated with imaginative watercolor paintings, will be loved by small children and everyone who plays with them.
